    Technically, yes, but the 64G eMMC will have too slow (random) I/O performance. From my experience, running Proxmox on N95 / 16GB LPDDR5 from a nvme SSD works great.

    Even if something similar to a customizable view feature were implemented, it would not necessarily be suitable for all use cases. For that reason, I think the priority for adding this feature may be relatively low. That said, you can still...

    Hey All, Do you think proxmox would run on this, can you boot proxmox from the 64G eMMC ? I am thinking of running raidz on a bunch NVME for plex, channels DVR etc. https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-me-mini-n150?variant=48678160302322...

    I recently bought a Dell R440 from eBay, 8 drive since I have a bunch of SSDs laying around. Specs: 2x Intel Xeon 4114 (10C) 8x16GB DDR4 RDIMM (128GB) Dell HBA330 4x Samsung Evo 870 1TB SATA 4x WD Blue 1TB SATA No GPU, but will be installed...

    The 25Gb mesh configuration Im talking about is the full mesh network which I would set up as routed with fallback: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Full_Mesh_Network_for_Ceph_Server . The 10Gb ports on each node would be LACP to a pair of stacked or...

    There are several considerations. Ceph is resource (quite) hungry, especially if you would like to get some decent IOPS. The decision to run 3 nodes is good as you can run full mesh network between the nodes = you do not need power hungry 25gbps...

    the other major factor for homelab deployment is that the equipment is physically likely to share space with people. this is where noise, heat, and physical form factor come into play. If it were me, with your given use case, I'd use a different...

    Correct. A lot of people run three nodes without problems. I am not a Ceph user, but I gave it a chance - in a slow home lab: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/fabu-can-i-use-ceph-in-a-_very_-small-cluster.159671/

    I think for a home lab you will be fine. Good choice on the Ceph network. Your CPU may disappoint a bit, as Ceph can be CPU hungry. Replication, not erasure is the right call. The only danger spot is the boot drive. If its not a high endurance...

    media servers are bandwidth dependent, not iops. but that's probably not relevent to the conversation. you would achieve adequate performance with the hardware you specified regardless of storage choice. I would just say that the benefits of ceph...

    you are putting the cart before the horse. Why are you speccing hardware before defining what your expectations are? in the simplest terms, what are your IOPS requirements as a minimum to a single guest, and total iops in aggregate.

    I would suggest using a dedicated "deployer" instance, which would: 1. serve ipxe. its ok if you dont have one existing- the deployer can perform this function. 2. provision a boot disk image from template. the multipathing software and base...

    Perhaps, but that doesn't seem to matter to the OP. Plus Proxmox is just Debian with a custom kernel and a few extra bits thrown on top. It's pretty easy to manage.

    Beim Interface warnt Checkmk, weil sich die Geschwindigkeit seit dem ersten Service Discovery geändert hat. Ist das tatsächlich der Fall (von 10G auf 1G)? Oder ist das jetzt einfach anderes Interface an dem Index? Dann sollte besser der...

    Hello, I'm a fairly heavy Proxmox user, both in my homelab and in enterprise or mission critical environments. One thing I've been wondering about for a while is this: Why isn't it possible to customize the "Server" menu? The four default...

    Can you clarify the network configuration? Is the "25Gb full mesh" you're referring to a dual-port NIC host-only setup or something else? Are the 1G and 10G dual ports per host as well and connected to redundant switches? If you want or need...
